Project Ara To Get A Google Play Like Hardware Store

It looks like Google has some plans for a new store for its modular smartphone, the device is called Project Ara, and Google will apparently launch a store similar to Google Play for their Project Ara devices.

The news comes from Google’s Paul Eremenko, who confirmed that Google will be following their Google Play model for their Project Ara Store.

By following the Android model, we are creating a free and open platform… The Ara MDK is free and open and available to everybody, so everybody could create a module per the specifications of the developer’s kit and put it in the Ara module marketplace, which is analogous to the Google Play store, and sell directly to consumers.

We are getting closer to the launch of the first Google Project Ara device, as the company previously said that thy expected to launch their first modular device in January of next year.
